The Denver Broncos community is breathing a sigh of relief after linebacker Alex Singleton underwent successful surgery on Friday following a recent testicular cancer diagnosis.

In an emotional statement released through the team, Singleton expressed gratitude toward his teammate and friend Bo Nix, who personally covered all of his hospital and medical expenses.

“Bo didn’t even hesitate — he just said, ‘Take care of yourself, we’ve got you.’ That’s the kind of person he is,” Singleton said. “He’s more than a quarterback. He’s family.”

According to team officials, the 30-year-old linebacker’s procedure went smoothly, and doctors are “extremely optimistic” about his recovery. Singleton is expected to undergo additional testing in the coming days but could return to training within a few weeks if his results remain clear.

A Scare Caught Early

Team physicians confirmed that the cancer was detected early thanks to routine health monitoring — a key factor in the positive prognosis.

“Our number one priority is Alex’s health and well-being,” said the Broncos’ medical staff in a statement. “We’re incredibly thankful the cancer was caught at such an early stage.”

Singleton is now resting and recovering at home, surrounded by family, friends, and teammates who have rallied around him with messages of love and support.

Bo Nix’s Quiet Act of Brotherhood

Sources inside the organization revealed that Bo Nix immediately reached out to Singleton after learning of his diagnosis. Without making any public announcement, Nix covered the full cost of Singleton’s surgery and hospital care.

“Bo told him, ‘You’ve got enough to worry about. Let me handle this,’” said one team source. “That’s the kind of leader he is — quiet, humble, and deeply compassionate.”

When asked about his gesture, Nix kept his response brief:

“It’s not about football. It’s about people. Alex is our brother — we look out for our own.”

The Broncos Rally Together

Teammates flooded social media with words of encouragement, using the hashtag #StrongLikeSingleton to show their support.

Defensive lineman Zach Allen wrote,

“You’ve got an army behind you, bro. Can’t wait to see you back in that locker room.”

Coach Sean Payton also praised Singleton’s strength and Nix’s leadership, calling the act “a reminder of what this team stands for.”

“Football brings us together, but family keeps us strong,” Payton said. “Alex is a fighter, and Bo showed what true teammates do when it matters most.”

Optimism for the Future

Doctors remain hopeful that Singleton will make a full recovery. Early-stage testicular cancer, when treated promptly, carries an excellent prognosis — and the linebacker’s strong fitness and mental toughness are expected to aid his return.

“I’m blessed, honestly,” Singleton said from his hospital bed. “We caught it early, I had the best doctors, and I’ve got brothers in this locker room who’d do anything for me. You can’t ask for more than that.”

A Message of Awareness

In his statement, Singleton also urged fans and athletes alike to stay proactive about their health.

“Don’t ignore the signs,” he said. “Go get checked. If I hadn’t, I might not be here having this conversation. Early detection saves lives — I’m living proof.”

A Team Defined by Heart

As Singleton continues his recovery, the Broncos have dedicated their upcoming home game to him — with players planning to wear “AS49” helmet decals in his honor.

Fans are already organizing a fundraising drive for the American Cancer Society under the campaign “Tackle Cancer with Alex.”

“This city’s got my back,” Singleton said with a smile. “Now I just want to get healthy and get back out there to give something back.”

A Brotherhood Beyond the Game

For Bo Nix, who has become known not only for his playmaking but also his philanthropy, this gesture adds another chapter to his growing reputation as one of the NFL’s most genuine leaders.

“It’s not about headlines,” said teammate Courtland Sutton. “Bo just leads with love — and that’s the kind of energy that changes a locker room.”

As the Broncos continue their season, the message from the team is clear: football is family. And in Denver, no one fights alone.

“We’re thankful, hopeful, and proud,” Coach Payton concluded.

“Alex is a fighter. Bo is a brother. And this team? This team is built on heart.”
